Gardeners' Notes:

I bought "Pink Lanterns" at a local garden center last fall from a clearance rack. I wasn't really sure what I was getting! I began seeing new growth this spring in my zone 6 garden in March. Mine grew to about 3 feet tall (it says here that it stays smaller). The blooms are pretty almost lavender/pink color with pale yellow centers. So pretty and delicate! I've got lots and lots of blooms so far, and it's May, so I'm pleased.
